The dynamics of a three-dimensional axisymmetric bluff-body wake are examined at low Reynolds regimes where transitions take place through spatio-temporal symmetry breaking. A linear stability analysis is employed to identify the critical…
We analyze the global linear stability of the axisymmetric flow around a spinning bullet-shaped body as a function of the Reynolds number, $Re=w_{\infty}D/\nu$, and of the rotation parameter $\Omega=\omega D/(2 w_{\infty})$, in the ranges…
The laminar flow past rectangular prisms is studied in the space of length-to-height ratio ($1 \le L/H \le 5$), width-to-height ratio ($1.2 \le W/H \le 5$) and Reynolds number ($Re \lessapprox 700$). The primary bifurcation is investigated…
This work studies the three-dimensional flow dynamics around a rotating circular cylinder of finite length, whose axis is positioned perpendicular to the streamwise direction. Direct numerical simulations and global stability analyses are…
We study the stability of laminar wakes past three-dimensional rectangular prisms. The width-to-height ratio is set to $W/H=1.2$, while the length-to-height ratio $1/6<L/H<3$ covers a wide range of geometries from thin plates to elongated…
Linear modal instabilities of flow over finite-span untapered wings have been investigated numerically at Reynolds number 400, at a range of angles of attack and sweep on two wings having aspect ratios 4 and 8. Base flows have been…
We investigate the global frequency selection of two-dimensional vortex shedding in the flat plate wake. The analysis is based on the mean flow velocity profiles obtained from experimental measurements carried out for two values of Reynolds…
Flexible structures in an incoming perpendicular flow typically undergo elastic reconfiguration that reduces drag; however, at higher velocities, they are prone to dynamical instabilities that entail complex wake dynamics and fluctuating…
This work investigates the spatio-temporal evolution of coherentstructures in the wake of a high-speed train. SPOD is used to extract energy spectra and empirical modes for both symmetric and antisymmetric components of the fluctuating flow…
This paper investigates the flow past a flexible splitter plate attached to the rear of a fixed circular cylinder at a low Reynolds number of 150. A systematic exploration of the plate length ($L/D$), flexibility coefficient ($S^{*}$), and…
Wakes of aircraft and automobiles with relatively flat slanted aftbodies are often characterized by a streamwise-oriented vortex pair, whose strength affects drag and other crucial performance parameters. We examine the stability…
Direct numerical simulations of a uniform flow past a fixed spherical droplet are performed to investigate the parameter range within which the axisymmetric flow becomes unstable due to an external flow bifurcation. The hydrodynamics is…
We investigate the instabilities, bifurcations and transition in the wake behind a 45-degree inclined 6:1 prolate spheroid, through a series of direct numerical simulations (DNS) over a wide range of Reynolds numbers (Re) from 10 to 3000.…
We consider the wake flow past a thin two-dimensional flat plate normal to the uniform stream and demonstrate that this flow is turbulent already at a relatively low Reynolds number of $Re = 400$. This is achieved by performing a careful…
This paper presents the linear Global stability analysis of the incompressible axisymmetric boundary layer on a circular cone. The base flow is considered parallel to the axis of cone at the inlet. The angle of attack is zero and hence the…
This study seeks to characterise the breakdown of the steady 2D solution in the flow around a 180-degree sharp bend to infinitesimal 3D disturbances using a linear stability analysis. The stability analysis predicts that 3D transition is…
We investigate the three-dimensional melting dynamics of an initially spherical particle translating in a warmer liquid using sharp-interface simulations that fully resolve both solid and fluid phases with the Stefan condition. A wide…
The primary bifurcation of the flow past three-dimensional axisymmetric bodies is investigated. We show that the azimuthal vorticity generated at the body surface is at the root of the instability, and that the mechanism proposed by…
We perform direct numerical simulations of laminar separated flows over finite-aspect-ratio swept wings at a chord-base Reynolds number of $Re = 400$ to reveal a variety of wake structures generated for a range of aspect ratios…
The wake flow around a circular cylinder at $Re\approx100$ performing rotatory oscillations has been thoroughly discussed in the literature, mostly focusing on the modifications to the natural B\'enard-von K\'arm\'an vortex street that…
